I agree, but I hope he really refines it for picks like these.

We have to get solid people in there.

Nice comments...

One other factor that stands out to me, is the vetting of these men in the first place. A candidate or president generally asks his staff to vet people. That staff can really screw things up if the staff members are moderate themselves.

Hopefully Trump has some fail-safes in place like Sessions and others who will review and give him excellent feed-back.

We need the very best here. This is so vitally important.

Honestly, I think this was Reagan’s problem. His staff really let him down with two of those appointments.

the first two nominations should be Moore and Cruz.
Trump ran on a list of (good, by all accounts) potential nominees. I love the fact of the list.

The list was a risky move at the time, in the sense that each individual name on it constituted a potential target during the campaign. The more names he put out there - and there are actually two lists he put out - the greater the danger. But the Democrats didn’t attack the list. At all.

Now, assuming Trump honors his campaign promise by sticking to names on his list(s), the Democrats are stuck with a situation in which they "coulda woulda shoulda" attacked at least some of those nominees. As it stands, response to any criticism of a nominee from that list can be, “Why didn’t you use that argument during the campaign??”

If the Trump nominee is on that list, the Democrats' perennial “out of the mainstream” claim will be off the table.

Judge Moore could not get Senate confirmation.

I think that term limits for everybody should be on the table, including Supreme court justices.

“She must be a real genius to be able to figure that out all by her self.”

LOL. It will probably take a couple of months for the wise latina to figure it out.
